Baked Ginger Sesame Boxing Chicken

*actually wanted to modify it to become Coffee Boxing Chicken by adding 1 tbs mocha into the marination mixture but the coffee taste isn't strong enough. Hmm, next time will do coffee paste separately and pour it after everything is cooked*

Forgot to take the pic after adding mayonnaise and Thai sweet chilli sauce


Recipe thanks to Kitchen Snippets

=Ingredients=

12-14 drummettes - me 12 drummettes

Marinate:
2 tbs grated ginger
2 cloves garlic- finely chopped
1 ts sesame oil
2 tbs soy sauce
1 tbs oyster sauce
1/2 tsp crushed pepper flakes
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbs brown sugar
salt to taste
some toasted sesame seeds


Method
  1. To prepare the chicken - first remove the excess fat, with a sharp knife cut around the thin end of the drummettes until the skin and sinewy bits are separated from the bone. Pull the meat down with the help of a knife and you will get a little chicken lollipop. Repeat with the rest of the drummettes. 
  2. Marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours or overnight. 
  3. Preheat the oven to 180C (me 200C for fan-assisted oven). Line the baking pan with aluminium foil. Drizzle some olive oil on it.
  4. Place the drummettes on the baking pan, bake for 30-40 minutes (I need to bake for 30 minutes then flip all over and bake for another 20 minutes (until brown and cooked through).
  5. Sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds and serve warm at room temperature. 

 After much hassle of the cutting process

 Marination process is taking place


*For my own reference*
Fan oven - always reduce 25C lower than others and cooking time is reduced by 10 minutes for every hour of cooking time
